Why is everyone talking about Microsoft Webmatrix?

Microsoft have recently announced their latest development in technology, called Webmatrix. They have taken web development one step further and developed a new lightweight web development tool which integrates all their previous web development tools like Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, and makes it even easier for people to get started with web development using ASP.NET. It provides core coding and database support, as well as integrating with an open source web gallery. It includes support to easily publish or deploy sites and applications to web hosting providers.

The best news about this, is that it is FREE! It is downloadable, quick to install and is only 15MB!

WebMatrix is a task-focused tool that has been designed to make it really easy to get started with web development. It minimizes the number of concepts and skills that someone needs to learn in order to get simple things done, as well as including and integrating all the components necessary to build Web sites quickly and efficiently.

Of course, once you have created a website, it will need to be hosted!
